 Swim
Comments: I never felt comfortable, first OWS and was not prepared. Most of my swims had been pool swims and mistakenly thought I could pull through as I do in the pool. Was expecting to exit the swim at about 17 minutes so very dissappointed with swim. What would you do differently?: Sighting practice, more OWS period  Transition 1
Comments: Struggled some with one shoe getting it on. What would you do differently?: More T1 practicing, would like to learn jumping on bike  Bike
Comments: All in all pretty pleased with the bike, especially as I was on a hybrid. Really looking forward to getting my road bike in October, thinking I could have improved quite a bit on a roadie but it was nice to pass some TT's and road bikes on my old hybrid. What would you do differently?: Probably push my pace a little more Transition 2
Comments: When jumped off bike my shoe came unclipped. Had to stop and pick up shoe. What would you do differently?: More T2 practices  Run
Comments: Immediately had cramp in left calf. Ran through the cramp and settled into a good pace. Passed no one, but did not get passed either. Actually my best 5K time ever, even in a regular 5K race so again pretty pleased. Hill training definitely helps What would you do differently?: Pushed a little more towards the finish, came up on mile 3 and just sort of cruised on in. Definitely felt like I had something left but was too caught up in enjoying the moment of just finishing my first tri. Post race
Warm down: Walked around for a few minutes, picked up a water, banana, and some orange slices. Had a coke a few minutes after What limited your ability to perform faster: My first tri, so nerves probably more than anything else Last updated: 2010-08-10 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:00am, had two pieces of wheat toast with peanut butter. Had vehicle packed from night before and left for 1 hour trip to race site. Arrived at 5:30 and picked up timing chip and set up transition area. Walked around and found bathroom in hotel next door. Ended up with about 30 minutes to kill before pre-race meeting
Not much here besides some light stretching and walking.
